Henry Halley published his "Halley's Bible Handbook" in 1924 and it continues to be a great resource for God's people today. He wrote:

The Habit of Going to Church every Sunday as an act of worship to God

All Christian People Ought toGo to Church Every Sunday,Unless Hindered by Sickness, Or Necessary Work,Or Necessity of Some Kind.It Ought to be a Matter of Conscience,And an Act of Worship.

The Churches areThe Most Important InstitutionsIn any community.The Sunday Services areThe Church's Principal Way of doing its work.It is THE EVENT of the community life.

Nothing ever happens in any communityAs important to the life of the communityAs the regular Sunday Worship Services.Every community ought to love its churches,And, at this appointed time, turn out, en masse,To honor HIM on whose name the church exists.

What it Would MeanAssuming the Pulpit to be Faithful,And the Services what they ought to be,If the churches were Filled Every SundayThe community would Take Notice,Evangelistic work of the church would be done,Financial problems would be solved,Missionary problems would be solved.The whole church program would be advanced.It is the One ThingThat would make the churches Strong;The one thing on which depends theSolution of the Problems facing Christianity.If all Christian Church peopleWould stir themselves up to be FaithfulIn this one Fundamental Christian dutyIt would set forward the Influence of the Church,And the Christ for whom the church stands,MORE THAN ALL THE REST OFTHE THINGS THE CHURCHES ARE DOINGPUT TOGETHER.--Henry H.
